SEPA is an association of amateur and professional painters who paint together regularly outdoors in S.E. Ireland. All artists are welcome. SEPA organises Ireland's 'Art in the Open' plein air festival. SEPA membership is free. NB. As with all Paint-Outs posted on Plein Eire, these events are simply notifications of intent by one individual to be at a particular place and time to paint. Each member's participation is entirely at his/her own risk. No responsibility for harm or loss of person or property on the part of anyone else is intended or implied.

Here are a few ideas for paint-out venues. Please add your own suggestions and we'll get a schedule together for the coming weeks. Your addfitional recommendations welcome.

Ballinkeele House

Newtownbarry House & Gardens

Dunamore Wood (Borodale) (no facilities)

Rosslare Harbour Lagoon

Tinahely

Wexford Beaches

Wexford Gardens

The Still Pond, near Enniscorthy

As ever, it is weather permitting, so in case the organiser needs to cancel, please indicate by RSVP for each event so a single message will let everyone know if an event is 'On' or 'Off'.

In particular, it seems smaller villages where we have access to coffee and a bite and a chance to say'hello' are sought-after venues. Here are some suggestions:

Duncormick, Screen, Killinick, Lady's Island, Clohamon, Saltmills, Slade

Comment by Kevin Freeney on February 15, 2017 at 0:09: It's not the usual kind of Paint out but all of us SEPA members did receive an invitation to Coueron on the weekend of 12-15 May. The Colours Of Brittany festival will be in the town on the Saturday. The good people of Coueron, Wexford's twin town, will put up and feed up to ten artists.
All we have to do is get there, that is, to the airport in Nantes. Anybody interested?

Comment by John Moriarty on September 5, 2016 at 11:37: Try going to you personal section - email - and turn all notifications on..if you get too much traffic then turn a few items off. I have it all turned to 'on' and am not inundated.

Comment by Sheila Mac Nally on September 5, 2016 at 11:33: FYI I get all the updates from the group, the email and comments here so there may be something in your email preferences not ticked?

Comment by Karen Scannell on September 5, 2016 at 9:19: Thanks for all your work Dick !

Hi Terrence, there's a little blip in the system when arranging paintouts. When someone posts an event, the system asks .. "send to all your friends" ? . It means that the invite has to be sent twice, to the persons friend list, and then the link posted in a message to the group. The easiest way is for anyone to arrange a paintout is to "friend all members of South East Plein Air...or to do the double whammy on it :)

Comment by Geraldine Donohoe on September 4, 2016 at 19:50: Terence, I asked Dick to add you on to his emails. Thanks again Dick for organising a great day

Comment by Dick Donaghue on September 4, 2016 at 18:57: Hi Terence, I am co ordin ating the paint outs at present. I have sent a friend request to you and will contact u each week we have a paint out. Usually Thursdays before. Also I have recently discovered how to send to the whole SEPA group. So please make sure u are signed up to that group. See you soon hopefully.

Comment by Terence Gillespie on September 4, 2016 at 18:47: Hi folks, For some reason I have had a lot of problems with the Plein Air website and have been unaware for some time of planned paint-outs.

Are paint-outs in the South East only notified to a select circulation lists now or has communication generally moved to to Face Book or some other new fangled system that is designed to confuse old fogies like me?

If there are select circulation lists -- please add my name -- I promise to be well behaved.

Comment by Dick Donaghue on September 3, 2016 at 19:22: Hi John. Give me her name and number and I;ll contact her re paint out. Great to have another new venue/
